Between myself and H Bomb (Cardiff City), we could not see how to make a cup worked alongside the league. If you can come up with a 'workable' plan of how it could work I would be interested in seeing it
Rules: Team with most goals wins fixture. If scores level, the manager who's name is closest alphabetically to his team's first scorer wins fixture (GK if 0-0). Ignore replays. Mechanics: 8 rounds to be held on FA cup dates- 12/11/11. 3/12/11,7/1/12, 28/1/12, 18/02/12, 17/03/12, 14/04/12 and 05/05/12 (1st round to be contested between 184 teams, with 36 recieving byes) If the real-life team is competing in FA cup that week, FA cup score to count. If not, most recent fixture to count. There would be occasinal dates when teams compete in both a league and cup fixture simultaneously, but that probably isn't the end of the world!
I'd just like to thank you Thai for all the hard work you have obviously put into this. I certainly dont envy the amount of time you've put into making this.
Totally agree! The idea is a simple one but it must have taken loads of hard work! The fact over 200 people have signed up shows what a great job you've done! Thanks! The cup idea is just something I thought I wld chuck into the mix- i've got no idea how much extra work it would involve!?
Thank you. I have not finished yet either! I am learning HTML code as I go along to try and create better looking pages, styles & layouts etc. So far I would guess I have put in the region of 120 hours for everything. Damned good job I have little else to do most days
I have no idea either and if I am honest it might be something I am reluctant to do this coming season because of the amount of time the leagues are going to take to update every week. Maybe you (or anyone else) could run a trial on here of some kind and run it along side the league? You can then use league results for all cup matches etc I do not think it would be hard to do for just 1 cup competition on one board and I would be happy to host it on my website unless you wanted to keep it on here
Following Rubik's suggestion of running a cup competition alongside the fun league I have been doing a little thinking. I can run one on here as a trial for this coming season..................Yes, I do have too much time on my hands I will try to make it a fairly big competition so it goes on for a few months and then maybe run another one later What I would like to do is................ Invite you to select 4 teams - 1 from each of the 4 leagues in England Please select them in order of their respective league i.e - PL, Championship, L1, L2 - IN THAT ORDER By doing it this way I am hoping we will use up 64 teams! To do that I need 16 people. Goals are scored the same way as in the fun league on selected dates Fixtures will generated by and external fixture generator, http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-cup-fixture-generator.htm not by myself. Fixtures & Results will be available here http://thaicanarycupfootball.weebly.com/index.html I will get the ball rolling by selecting my 4 teams Liverpool - Leicester City - Huddersfield - Crawley Town - Thai Canary Chelsea - Blackpool - Charlton Ath - AFC Wimbledon - Canary Dave Man City - Brighton - Chesterfield - Gillingham - Maestro Everton - Leeds Utd - Leyton Orient - Torquay Utd - NCGandy Arsenal - Cardiff City - Sheffield United - Plymouth Arg - Yellow Canary Norwich - West Ham - sheff Wed - Bradford - Kenny Foggo on the Wing Bolton - Peterborough - Colchester Utd. - Southend - Dangerous Marsupial Tottenham - Southampton - Carlisle - Shrewsbury - Dazz19 Sunderland - Nottingham Forest - MK Dons - Bristol Rovers - Rubik's Tube Swansea - Bristol City - Exeter - Oxford Utd. - Sir Arthur Manchester Utd. - Ipswich - S****horpe - Swindon - billypockets 606 Aston Villa - Watford - Bournemouth - Accrington Stanley - H bomb Stoke - Reading - Brentford - Rotherham - I Clean Holtys Boots Newcastle - Birmingham - Preston - Daggenham & Redbridge - II--JOSH-LUFC--II West Brom - Millwall - Hartlepool - Aldershot - MightyWall Fulham - Doncaster Rov - Bury - Crewe Alex - Cheshire Canary 0 places available I will be away for several days after today so will collect names etc when I get back next week or maybe Dave would like to update the list on here?
